2021 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.5L Petrol · GK71 LLJ

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 33,372 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle entered its fifth year in sound mechanical condition. Prior to that, the September 2024 tests showed a clean pass alongside a failed attempt on the same date at 25,387 miles, though the failure carried no listed defects, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2021 plate. The car covered 7,985 miles between the September 2024 test at 25,387 miles and the July 2025 test at 33,372 miles, equating to roughly 6,674 miles per year since registration. The record is sparse, with only three entries across the period, and shows no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition despite the clean history. Low annual use can allow moisture trapping and unseen rust on sills or subframes. The brake calipers, exhaust emissions, and tyre sidewalls warrant hands-on checks for age-related perishing given the vehicle's light running schedule. The duplicated September 2024 entry with a defect-free failure suggests the previous owner addressed paperwork promptly but offers no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep. On the available data, the Tiguan reflects consistent, if minimal, mechanical care with no recurring wear trends requiring corrective action before purchase.
